In adult men, Proscar is used to decrease an enlarged prostate (also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH). It can be used alone or in combination with other medications to alleviate BPH symptoms and possibly avoid surgery. Proscar (Finasteride) may help with BPH symptoms by reducing the need to urinate, improving urine flow with less straining, reducing the sense that the bladder isn't empty, and reducing overnight urination.
This medication works by lowering the quantity of DHT, a natural body hormone that drives prostate growth. Proscar isn't approved for prostate cancer prevention. It may raise the risk of acquiring a very dangerous form of prostate cancer by a small amount.
Keep a list of everything you use (including prescription and non-prescription pharmaceuticals, as well as herbal products) and discuss it with your doctor and pharmacist. Without your doctor's permission, do not begin, stop, or modify the dosage of any medications. The findings of a blood test used to identify prostate cancer may be influenced by this medicine (prostatic-specific antigen or PSA levels).

Using or awaiting surgery could increase the risk of serious BPH related side effects. If you notice any of these side effects, you should stop taking this medicine and contact your doctor for further advice.

Hi,
I'm a GP and this is the most important thing I can do to help my GP see things. My practice's practice is a complex area, and I've had to write scripts to help me. I've been on multiple drugs, and I'm a pharmacist who's been with me for a long time. So I think it's important that I get regular medical advice, as well as a good understanding of the drugs I'm taking and the way they work.
I've been on a range of (some) painkillers, but I'm still seeing things. One of the issues I've had to deal with is that my insurance covers them. I know what they're for, but I'm not sure if it's right for me. I have lots of prescriptions that are covered by my insurance but I've only paid for one. It seems to be a bit of a barrier to getting the medicine I need. It's definitely a barrier to getting the medication I need. I've been prescribed a lot of painkillers but I don't have any type of prescription. I have a doctor who's a pharmacist but not sure what they do. I just wanted to get it right for you.
I'm on a meds dose of Proscar. It's been an issue for me to take a medicine that isn't on the list. I think it's been a major issue for me as well. When I was on it, my doctor prescribed me 1mg. a daily dose. I had to take 1 mg for the first month for my condition and then 1 mg for the next two. It's always been the same. But that's been the case for me. I have to take the 1 mg every day as well, and the 1mg isn't on the list. So I don't know what it is for. I think I'll just ask for 1 mg every day. I don't think it's the same thing. But I have a doctor who will make sure I take the right dose.
I've taken a lot of painkillers and now I don't know if they're related. I've also taken a lot of ibuprofen and aspirin. I've taken several more on the same day. I'm a lot more cautious and cautious, but the first thing I did was to try to make sure the medication didn't come with a prescription. I've taken a lot of these painkillers, but I don't know if it's a problem or if it's something else.
I have some things that I don't want to do and have been told to avoid. I've had a lot of painkillers, but my GP has said that if I stop taking them, they'll take the medicine away. I think that's a different situation now. I'm a lot more cautious and cautious, and I haven't been able to get them all done. I don't want to take them again.
I do want to tell you that I'm on Proscar. I'm very happy with it. It's helped me a lot with the painkillers. I do want to tell you that I'm very happy with the medication. If you're having problems, please reach out to us for advice and we'll help.
Thanks,
Diane
21st March 2023I have a question for you. As a pharmacist, do you know if there is a medication that I can buy at a pharmacy? I'm currently taking a tablet called Propecia (the generic version). I am currently taking Proscar and it's been working for me. Can anyone explain how to get it?
Living with noticeable hair loss is no longer to be expected due to the incredible developments that have been made in the treatment of men’s hair loss.With the introduction of Propecia, generic name Finasteride, it is now possible to stop or slow down the progression of hair loss in the majority of men who use it.
Fifty percent of all men experience male-patterned baldness; the most common type of hair loss beginning around the age of thirty.
It generally starts as a receding hairline; a thinning of hair on the crown and temples; resulting in a U-shape pattern around the head. In some rare cases, a male may end up completely bald.
The condition is genetic; caused by an abundance of the male hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT) which causes the hair follicles to become weak and eventually inactive, resulting in a lack of hair re-growth. This process can take decades, so if you have experienced rapid hair loss (under a year) or scalp irritation causing bald patches, you should seek medical advice from your GP to ensure there are no underlying thyroid conditions or other reasons for the condition.
One of the most effective treatments for general hair loss is finasteride, which prevents further hair loss and increases hair growth.
